>"<TT
CLASS="userinput"

>mysqladmin -u root -p create &#60;dbname&#62;</B

>rogue</B
></TT

</P

>If you do not have root access to the database, you will need to create the database in another way before installation can continue.
</P
><P
>Please consider using a tool such as phpMyAdmin (<A
HREF="http://phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin"
TARGET="_top"
>http://phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin</A
>) to automate the database creation process. To create the database using phpMyAdmin, type the name of the new database (for example, "<TT
CLASS="userinput"
><B
>rogue</B
></TT
>") and click "<SPAN
CLASS="guibutton"
>Create</SPAN
